Hey thanks for helping out![[Chalice of Life]] - I love this card, but I’m not sure I could manage to get the kind of lifegain I’d need to transform it, which basically makes it like my [[Fountain of Renewal]] except with a tap activation. So prooobably not.[[Scoured Barrens]] (I’m guessing) - Unfortunately this one I just can’t do. I need cards that have a “Swamp” subtype for my [[Crypt Ghast]] to work at its highest potential and I’m already using the only dual land legal in Modern with that subtype. Sucks, but what can you do.[[Unmake]] - That is brutal and I will definitely consider it. xD

This is basically Russian Roulette as a magic deck. xD Super fun idea. I personally don’t like cutting things so close, and you’re using most of the deck trying to prevent yourself from committing suicide, but this seems like it’d make for some crazy games!
I may consider the switch between Rune Snag and Mana Leak.A lot of these suggestions actually used to be in previous versions of the deck! I’ll explain the switches.[[Last Thoughts]] was replaced by [[Curious Obsession]] simply on the basis of it costs less and does more in a practical sense. I used to have [[Whispersilk Cloak]], but the Shroud was too much of a pain for me to work around. Ended up switching it out for [[Aqueous Form]] and then finally got rid of that idea all together in favor of just making my creatures do all the work. [[Dimir Infiltrator]] ended up getting cut for not being a rogue and was replaced by [[Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive]]. Speaking of, he also benefits [[Inkfathom Witch]]. Fear is not unblockable, so it’s nice to just add to the fire power with 3 more creatures when I take swings.As for your [[Echoing Truth]] suggestion, I think that’d be a great sideboard option if I ever get my lazy butt around to making one. :P Thanks for bringing these to my attention!
Maybe you could replace Vendetta with Fatal Push?
Have you considered Wall of Denial?
Hmmm... This seems oddly familiar... :P
